Course reviews

De Laveaga Disc Golf Course has a great mixture of open & wooded holes with amazing elevations changes throughout the course. There are several baskets located on the edges of cliffs with treacherous 80+ foot drop-offs to the poison oak ravines below. A very challenging and demanding course geared toward the Top Professional Players but enjoyed by Players of all Skill Levels. Hole #27 "Top of the World" is considered to be one of the Best Disc Golf Holes on the Planet with a gorgeous view of the ... continue reading ›

A classic destination course with world famous shots, including a smaller "top of the world" shot that provides a view of the ocean. In general, the course favors medium length, tightly lined holes over open, long bomb holes--yet it still provides good balance. As they are often in well loved CA courses, the greens surrounding the baskets are particularly worn and fast. Some of the holes have significant dropouts just beyond the 10m circle--providing extra incentive to stop your discs close t ... continue reading ›

A classic destination course with world famous shots, including a smaller "top of the world" shot that provides a view of the ocean. In general, the course favors medium length, tightly lined holes over open, long bomb holes--yet it still provides good balance. As they are often in well loved CA courses, the greens surrounding the baskets are particularly worn and fast. Some of the holes have significant dropouts just beyond the 10m circle--providing extra incentive to stop your discs close to the basket on those fast greens. This course has 27 holes and is often crowded--expect long round times. This is many discer's favorite course in CA--myself included. Some of the holes' weather-worn, beat-down, lack of general beauty keep it from earning an A+. But that's a very minor complaint... ‹ less text

Long, technical, beautiful, and treacherous at the same time. Not a great place for beginners to learn. It is covered in Poison Oak and many of the holes are near steep drop offs on mountains that are unforgiving. You make a bad throw and you can kiss that disc good bye. You try to find it and you will have poison oak (if allergic to it, I'm not), or risk injury. I have never been injured here searching for discs, but I am not the average player/hiker/explorer. Don't take me wrong, this is a gre ... continue reading ›

Don't take me wrong, this is a great place to play, and for families looking for some fun it is worth visiting, just be prepared for heat, elevation change, and the risk of lost discs, poison oak, and dehydration in the heat.

A beautiful course! Of of my favorites when not crowded. Good signage and hard to get lost. Multiple pin locations. Parking can be a pain. Can buy discs on site. ‹ less text

I love DeLaveaga I have been playing this course since I first started and I am still loving this course. It has multiple pin positions on just about every hole and only a few of the holes are easy to birdie which is needed in order to feel like your a decent player. I don't know if I will ever be good enough to master DeLavega. All par threes can be frustrating with the course being so long and technical but it has made me a much better player.

WOW! What a course, much different than the Ohio & Pa. courses I've played.Extreme elevation changes, incredible views. It was an honor to play this historic course, the highlight of my young disc golf career! Can't wait to play again next year.

Fantastic course - best I've ever seen or played on. Twenty seven holes for the disc golf lover/junkie. When you go to Santa Cruz, you have to visit this place! The players are very nice here, like most disc golf courses. Nothing short of spectacular!
